We have a very digestive disease packed show planned. Dr. Ira Jacobson, the director of liver disease here at NYULangone Health, will be coming in to talk about hepatitis C. Even though there are many potential drugs to cure this disease, it remains a vexing problem. If you or a loved on has, or is at risk, for hepatitis C, give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

We will have GI update after that, expanding our subject to all of the digestive organs! Give us a call or send me a tweet!

It's Colon Cancer Prevention Month! Join me and colorectal surgeon Dr. Lynn O'Connor as we talk prevention in men and women as well as treatment options if cancer or a large polyp is found.

We will end the show with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any medical question at all: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me! Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!
